Kappa Alpha Order... defining the Gentlemen Founded:
December 1865 Defining the Order It began in 1865, when four young men at Washington College in Lexington, VA, decided to bind their friendship by a "mutual pledge of faith and loyalty." Now, with 130 chapters 114,000 initiated members, Kappa Alpha continues to be a leader among fraternities. Kappa Alpha Order is a way of life significant to the development of young men. Emulating chivalric ideals and genteel ethics, KA translates these timeless philosophies into the mainstream of American colleges and universities. Our primary goal is to build character and develop men into leaders. We hope to add to the individual's collegiate experience and help prepare him for his future. Kappa Alpha was designed to be an adjunct to and promoter of higher education. Our primary focus is to provide programs to ensure the academic achievement of all our chapters and members. Our chapter having the highest GPA among the fraternities on Campus for 2000-2001 shows this. Our members understand the importance of helping others as well as the rewards and personal development offered from performing community service and philanthropic activities. For fourteen years, the Muscular Dystrophy Association has been the national philanthropy of the Kappa Alpha Order. Last year, our chapter raised over 3,000 dollars for the MDA by putting on a benefit concert. Return to Campus Connections |
